Another year has gone by and The ABC Skilled Trade Explorer's Post has once again had another successful year. The post itself (for those who aren't familiar) aims at helping young people, who are interested in possibly entering the construction workforce, identify which trade may be right for them. Each of the 8 post sessions visits a different contractor where the Explorers get to learn through hands-on activities, Q&A with industry professionals, and close mentoring from post advisors and ABC Education Committee members. This years post had a group of 30 students learning about carpentry, masonry, drywall & welding, HVAC, plumbing, electric, safety & apprenticeship.
Each year some students opt to put their newly acquired skills to the test with a charity project. This year students built 3 new picnic table for
Hope Hall

Staff and students at Hope Hall were very happy with their finished product and very appreciative of the Explorers' hard work.
